Final: CLE 1 CHC 0 W: Miller L: Edwards Jr. SV: Allen

Final Thoughts: Huge win by the Indians. Indians were the aggressor all thoughout the game. Now they are going to throw Corey Kluber tomorrow night.

As for the Cubs, disappointing loss. When the Cubs lineup was announced, you get the feeling that Maddon may not find his left-handed outfielders reliable. And when you add that with the wishful thinking that Schwarber would get the medical clearance to play the field.

Game 4 tomorrow night. Kluber going for the Indians. While Lackey will go for the Cubs.
